#note D12 IURE is BEST for Albert, with big probability to four-timer using G (make bingo suffixed -ING) after it

#note One of the most decisive move in this tournament. With Albert only score 4 points in previous move, it was a clear sign that bingo is about to play, the only obvious place to play a bingo is in row 10 with S back hook, which I could easily block with CEL or CLEG. However...

With poor scoring in his last move, now I have momentum to keep scoring and make a bingo useless, plus his bingo will score low, and open triple word. It should be easily countered. Plus, after my opponent play R and Y, and now obviously chasig bingo, it also a sign that the Y, the jewel in this board still in sack. The only thread for me is four-timer bingo using G which score about 90 points, but after almost 3 minutes, I decided to leave it open, score as much as possible in this move, while keeping at least one R and dump as many tiles as possible in order to get Y

I was very happy with quackle analysis, which done over 10.000 iteration and takes about 10 minutes to load CONFIRMED that ERIC has the highest winning chance, with 71,31%, almost 5% higher than 2nd BEST, E9 ELEGIAC (66.6%), 9C CEILER (66.36). All of best moves are move with high turnover (4 or more tiles used). It may be wise to block opponent bingo line, but not in all situation, sometimes your better choice is to score high enough and think ahead, which letter is crucial in this board rather than low scoring blocking, especially when you are only 20-30 points ahead.

As for blocking move like CEL and CLEG, they not even listed in top 15 best, and I have to place it manually in simulation to ask quackle to predict it's winning move. None of that 2 has winning chance over 50%.

PS: I know quackle prediction sometimes can be inaccurate due the fact we must assumed both player has perfect word knowledge and anagramming ability, but against all numbers and winning percentage, most of expert player may agree about this statement, "You don't always have to block"
>Albert_Martono: AEINSST 10A ENTASIS +68 383
#note Highest scoring, Albert also get TENIASES in 7A, which still can be played it I decided to block with CEL or CLEG, probably it also the reason why Quackle chose ERIC as the best move
>Christian_Oktavius: AEELRSY 15G SYE +61 420
>Christian_Oktavius: AEELLR (challenge) +5 425
#note This time, I get it all wrong. Not even close to best move. The best move just simple dump Y for FOODY, 36 points, NOT TO EMPTY THE SACK.

The tile left was still very condusive to bingo, so if my opponent bingo again I have no chance to once again keep ahead and win the game. If I dump only Y, if Albert bingo he will have to pick the last letter in the back, and I may finish the game with another bingo and pip him with less than 10 points

Fortunately for me, Albert cannot bingo with his 7 last tiles
